Lufkin still has one. And a couple still down in the valley.

Kmart.com

I guess the commercials come from the national broadcaster's feed... I am surprised the local channels do not place their own local commercials over them....

Believe me...they are not missed. I cannot even believe they have any at all. They are run down, no remodel or even maintenance done on their stores. Remember the company went bankrupt in 2001. The shares were bought out by a mega real estate investor. He closed the stores in the most desirable locations and sold the real estate to growing retailers like Lowes and Home Depot...even Walmart. The rest continue to operate on very little, with I assume, a decent profit...in older, stagnant towns and neighborhoods around the country.

I remember them... when they field for bankruptcy and the stores closed (I remember the one in Humble, where Academy is now) I thought they were gone for good.... I have seen a couple of commercials from them lately and I was wondering if they were back in Texas...

I have seen one in Sweetwater, Texas but it did not have too much.

With on-line shopping, it doesn't matter if there is a bricks-and-mortar store, nearby, so commercials are basically universal now. Last time o looked, there wasn't one within 200 miles of us, bit that may have changed since then.

@Fairlane67: I actually miss KMART....Grew up shopping in one...Was sad to see them decline as they did....Would shop them in a heartbeat if they returned....

@EddyFree: You should move to my old town in California. We have plenty of Kmarts.

@cbp210: Are they still basically the same or have they made many changes since the mass closings?

@EddyFree: Same to me but not much sporting goods as they were 20 years ago.
